Still more camels


Sometimes different areas of our lives just can't resist from converging. This week has been a large week of camel references for me, and I just can't help but share. First, The Blogess, a crazily popular crazywoman blogger that I love (because, yes, I'm crazy), wrote a blog post about Juice in the City and was able to work in a reference to the camel I was once almost traded for in Istanbul. Then, today, Tim used a "two hump camel" as a reference for our double pyramid set. I mean, what are the chances? Have you ever heard Tim use the camel example? Because I haven't. So, I feel that a third camel experience may be coming my way this week. All I can do is make certain it won't have anything to do with my pants.

Today's double hump workout:

*warmup: 200 free, 100 stroke, 50 kick

*50, 100, 150, 200, 200, 150, 100, 50
repeat twice

*100 strong, 150 float, 50 stroke

PURE

The workout email said 3 x 1000's PURE for today and yes it was! Last night I read the short story "Swimming" in the recent New Yorker and this morning it came back to me. As T Cooper wrote, "You know that feeling (while swimming)...where you're pushing so hard that you understand how a body could just as easily die as live, that living is just the absence of death, and thus always in a relationship with death?" Yes, I know that feeling. All of us do, even if we haven't expressed it so eloquently. At those moments I tend to think about someone or something that has truly pissed me off recently, and I work out the anger. I imagine very inappropriate scenes where we (myself and that offending person) are in a group and they chance to say something slightly off-color. I rip into them and teach them a lesson about ignorance or bigotry or just plain pettiness, and they understand how base they have been. Okay, sometimes I also swimdream about the perfect par...
